Game Summary:
The original version of Wild Gunman was one of Nintendo’s electro-mechanical arcade games created by Gunpei Yokoi and released in 1974. It consisted of a light gun connected to a 16mm projection screen. Full-motion video footage of a Wild West gunslinger was projected onto the screen and when his eyes flashed, the player needed to draw and shoot. If the player was fast enough, the projection would change to that of the shot gunman falling down, otherwise it would show the gunman drawing and firing his gun. If the player won, then they would face off against several more gunslinger opponents.
The second version had a plastic gunman figure mounted on top of a plastic battery box called Custom Gunman, which later became one of the microgames in the Nintendo Game Boy Advance title, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
An updated video game version of the game, replacing photographic images with cartoon-style video game sprites, was released for Family Computer in 1984 and the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985 . This version is by far more widely known than its 1974 ancestor.
